FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Automotive Accessories and ~Garage Equipment Sectional Committee had been approved by the Transport
Engineering Division Council.
This standard covering both hydraulic and mechanical type of jacks was published in 1968. In the past
24 years, due to developments of various types of vehicles, different types and capacities of jacks are now
being manufactured and used. In order to cater all types of such jacks, this revision has been prepared. In
view of separate requirement of mechanical and hydraulic type these are now being covered in separate
parts. Part 1 covers the mechanical jacks and Part 2 covers the hydraulic jacks.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off, in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that ~ofthe specified value in this standard.
The Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard is given at Annex A.
